This class is suitable for complete beginner sewists, however, if you're not sure if this is the right sewing class for you please get in touch. If you can't make this one, maybe you can make the one we're running in November?

This is a sewing class for complete beginners, with little to no knowledge of how to use a sewing machine. Students are encouraged to bring their own sewing machines, if possible. A perfect course to follow on from this one would also be our Beginners Dressmaking Weekend where you can sew your first garment.

A dressmakers recommended sewing tools for beginners
In the morning you will learn how to use the sewing machine. We will take a thorough walk-through the threading process, discover how tension works, as well as troubleshooting broken needles and wonky bobbins.
In the afternoon, you will tackle your first sewing project; a drawstring bag. The drawstring bag allows us cover some very versatile skills, including fabric cutting and pattern handling.
Spaces are limited to 6 participants per class to provide the ultimate learning experience
